Andromeda Space Rockers: Interactive Music Installation

Dann Green and I created an interactive music installation for the Smirnoff "Be There" party in Austin. Each station has an Autonomous Bassline synth (4mspedals.com) and three Andromeda MK analog drum machines (ericarcher.net). All together it forms a 12-track analog drum machine and four 8-bit synths, with almost every parameter controlled by light sensors and dozens of people clicking every button, turning every knob, and flipping all the switches they could find! Meanwhile Dann and I took turns trying to balance the constantly changing mix, and doing our best to explain how to use it (over and over and over). Good fun.




The installation wil make another appearance soon at Handmade Music Austin workshop #3 (Dec 20th, Salvage Vanguard Theatre, Austin TX). All of the devices in this video are DIY kits you can build at these workshops.

that beat at 2:32 is sick and he drops it again at 2:44. if that was a packed club it would be intense.
